Tonight, I went over to my friend Jeff's (Sexual Darwinism guy) house. He is a frat guy (the good kind) and tonight was dad's night. They were playing beer pong. It was one dad and one son vs. another dad/son combo. One of the dads was really cool but his son decided to leave because a playstation 2 game was way more important. The dad drove three hours and the kid decided his PS2 was more important!!! So I was the replacement son for the night. He was a really cool guy. It sucks his son was so lame. This is the third time this month somebody else's parents have shown me more love then their own child. (for one reason or another) There is something seriosly wrong with that. I'm not sure what the lesson is to be learned, but I hope my kids aren't like that.

Dad's night rocks. Almost everybody's dad was there. If you don't hang out with your child in a similar way, then you are missing out.

Why do you hate your dad? Is he a dick to you? These love/hate relationships are important to learn from and not repeat.

Dunno, but it's the first time the kids dad had been down all year and he left to play playstation. Thats all I know. He didn't even have to talk to his dad, he could of talked to his friends and been his dads partner in beer pong. That's why I thought it was sad. The dad could of been an [censored] though. You never know.

One way of dealing with stress is avoidance (my way). Hence, why I'm typing on here instead of bashing the snot out of NLHE $25.

When I was in college, and wasn't doing too well, I didn't want to spend too much time with my parents.

--Dave.

Edit: What I'm trying to say isn't that it's good to avoid your parents, because in most cases it isn't, but it's hard to say what the cause of this is. It's more like something that's sad than something that shows that the son is being a prick or something along those lines.

The problem wasn't hanging out with your son, the problem was hanging out at a frat playing beer pong when you're over 40.

The thing is, sometimes it's easy to mistake where the blame lies, or to put it all in one place when it should be spread around.

Sometimes you just get a wild seed or something, but mostly, if you want to understand why a kid is behaving badly, you have to look no further than this parents.

Not that it's fashionable to ever take blame for anything anymore, of course. But sometimes I seriously have to stifle a laugh or a mean grin when I hear people I think of as pretty crummy in real life wonder why their kids have gone so wrong. It's like it's obvious to everyone in the room except them.

Yeah, it's impossible to judge without having deep insight into the family, which you're pretty much guaranteed not to have, even if you feel you have really deep insight about just one of its members, which you probably wouldn't.

It's a little unsettling sometimes, but there are definitely things in life that we bump into that we can't understand or do anything about. It may not be all that natural to want to admit defeat or confusion in the face of "people problems," but those are damn complicated problems, and sometimes we're just not equipped for them or don't know and will never know what's going on with them. Leaping to conclusions or poking our noses in always carries a certain danger and arrogance with it.

I gave up on the damn thing. Peachy's writing is becoming incomprehensible. Clarity is always better than being oh so hip.

its not even a hip thing, its something that I have started to see more and more out of women 14-30. I think it may have something to do with AIM, text messaging, and e-mails, and because women talk so much, they constantly use this bad habits. Thus, women are speeding up the decline of the english language and our society as a whole. America was so much better when all they did was have babies and baked pies.

yeah, as for your OP, I agree, that son is a douche bag. I hear all this blah blah blah about we don't know the whole story. Well here is one thing we know. The father drove 3 hours to get there. That means to me the father wants to see his son. His son doesn't realize that, and thats a shame, so IMO the son is a douche, and I am willing to bet his sons actions really bothered and saddened his father.

wacki

04-24-2005, 08:03 PM

Agreed, it's been a while since I've talked to you, where have you been? What have you been up to?

Blarg

04-24-2005, 08:14 PM

Three hours is a pretty meaningless span of time compared to the son's whole lifetime. We have no idea how much of a good guy the father is, nor how much of a bad guy the son is -- if at all, either way.

I grew up around a lot of abused kids, sexually and otherwise, so to me it's not hard at all to see why some kids want to stay away from their parents, even if those parents are making outward publicly friendly gestures. A lot of very nasty, even sick people are very nice people in public. Knowing the back story to so many terrible tragedies, I'm a little cautious about jumping to conclusions, especially if I'm going to start swinging them around like a weapon to hurt someone else with. That's the last thing a lot of situations need.

Discretion is the better part of valor, and all.

I have been working a lot lately, in a local without a computer. Just been doing a lot of the same old [censored], playing some poker, trying to get situated down here in Portland. What the hell have you been up to?

That being said, being "replacement son" for a night is definitely cool (stating the obvious here).
